Hue seeks ways to attract more tourists

The Hue Relics Preservation Centre will implement a series of special
activities and programmes to attract more tourists to the Complex of
Hue Monuments, a world cultural heritage, in the central province of
Thua Thien-Hue.

According to the centre’s
director Phan Thanh Hai, in addition to already-launched “tourism golden
weeks”, between now to the year-end, the centre plans two promotion
weeks in September and December this year plus an array of exhibitions
showcasing artefacts marking 20 years since the complex was recognised
as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO.

During the
weeks, tourists enjoy free electric bus service from the Royal
Palace to Hue Royal Antique Museum and a 50 percent
reduction in ticket prices for Hue Royal Court Music.

Notably, the centre has invested in increasing electric buses to make
tourists’ travel in the Royal Palace more convenient.

The centre said by July 19, more than 1.14 million people, half of
them are foreigners, visited the Complex of Hue Monuments. Revenues from
tourism reached over 74 billion VND, or 70.7 percent of the yearly
target.-VNA
